I wanted to share my Sports Ticker integration for Home Assistant, built for anyone who wants live sports data displayed in a clean, customizable way on their dashboards.
LiquidFXX/sports-ticker: Sports ticker
This integration is designed to pull in ESPN-based sports data and make it easy to use inside Home Assistant for things like:
- Live scores
- Game status and start times
- Team matchups
- League-specific scoreboard data
- Custom Lovelace cards and ticker-style displays
The goal was to create something that feels more like a real sports dashboard experience instead of just a plain sensor readout. It works especially well for building custom views for leagues like MLB, NFL, NBA, college sports, NASCAR, and more.
A few highlights:
- Easy-to-use scoreboard sensors
- Great for ticker cards, favorite team views, and game-day dashboards
- Designed for highly visual Lovelace setups
- Flexible enough for custom button-card and Mushroom-based designs
- Ideal for wall tablets, sports pages, and family dashboards
I originally built this because I wanted a better way to follow my favorite teams directly in Home Assistant, and it turned into a full project that others may find useful too.
I’d love feedback from the community, especially around:
- Additional leagues or sports to support
- Sensor ideas and attribute improvements
- Better card examples and dashboard layouts
- Feature requests for favorite teams, standings, stats, or alerts
If you’re into sports and Home Assistant customization, I’d love for you to check it out and share your thoughts.
